Layer.

At the Second Prince's residence.

The man with a crescent-shaped mark on his face looked at the Second Prince, whom he had killed with a single blow, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Hahaha! That's how I kill two Prince, and my level is now 100."

When he reaches level 100, he will become the new Patient Zero, allowing him to begin spreading the deadly virus from his own perspective.

He chooses his companions according to his own preferences and methods.

However, right before the dying Second Prince, a giant cat-like Nen Beast appeared. This cat looked at the man before it and clapped its hands together.

Amidst the crescent-shaped man's incredulous expression, the cat slapped the other man to death, its paws kneading the corpse.

Nothing was left behind after that.

The black cat's tail transformed into a needle, which pierced the Second Prince's corpse.

The Second Prince's wounds began to heal immediately.

In just a moment, the Second Prince's lifeless eyes regained their sparkle, and he got up from the ground.

"That's ridiculous."

Her Nen ability is invincible.

[Million Reincarnation Cat]

This is her Nen ability; anyone who kills her will be attacked and killed by her cat, and the life force of the killed person will be drained by the cat, reviving her.

Just as she stood up, everything suddenly went black, and she collapsed to the ground.

Blood soon began to flow from the corner of his mouth.

At this point, the black cat Nen Beast that could revive her also disappeared.

"The Second Prince has been resolved."

The door at the end of the corridor opened, and a man in a black suit looked at the corpse on the ground and said this.

Upon hearing this news, the Ninth Prince on the other side nodded silently.

He also personally killed one of his brothers and sisters, who was his own sister, born of the same mother and father.

Although there is a touch of sadness in my heart, now is not the time for lamentation.

"A battle involving Nen ability is a battle of intelligence."

In the short time he had been exposed to the Nen ability, the Ninth Prince had come to a profound understanding of this.

If we act rashly without knowing the Second Prince's Nen ability, it's easy for the opponent to take down one of our members.

If they're not careful, important members could be replaced.

In that situation, house arrest might be the only option.

Now that we know the other person's Nen ability, it's much simpler to kill them through an accidental, unintentional act.

There is an automatically triggered machine in the corridor containing poison needles.

When the Second Prince falls to the ground, the poisoned needle will be injected into his body. The poison will remain there and flow with his blood, causing his heart to beat again before it spreads throughout his body with the blood.

That's how the machine killed him.

It was not the work of a person.

They easily evaded the opponent's Nen ability.

Are those lower-ranking Prince safe now?

"The Ninth Prince asked."

A companion next to him nodded.

"No problem, the hidden assassin has been captured; it was a guard of the Tenth Prince and Eleventh Prince."

Both are Professional Hunter, one of whom previously influenced the entire first floor's Melody.

"Phew, it's over. Now only the Fourth Prince is left."

"No, the Fourth Prince is also dead."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince stood up from his chair.

"Look."

The guard pointed to something nearby.

On the monitor screen, Tada, who was originally the Fourth Prince's guard, can be seen in the corridor, holding the Fourth Prince's body in his arms.

The last one is finished too.

The First Prince was unconscious in the hospital room, but he had essentially been poisoned beyond repair, and his death was only a matter of time.

The Second Prince has just died in the corridor.

The Third Prince was previously assassinated by members of the mafia.

The Fourth Prince is now dead as well.

Due to various reasons, the Fifth Prince was ultimately killed by a curse cast by the Second Prince's guards. He is now in a coma, extremely weak and exhausted, and has already Emission his withdrawal from the Succession War.

The Sixth Prince was nearly killed by the Second Prince's guards. Although he has been rescued, his condition is much more serious than that of the Fifth Prince, and he has almost lost the ability to participate in the Succession War.

The Seventh Prince was assassinated by members of the mafia.

The Eighth Prince was assassinated by the First Prince's Private Army.

Now only the Ninth Prince, who was willing to fight for the throne, is still alive and safe.

Among the lower-ranking Prince, the Tenth Prince is publicly known to be dead.

Starting with the Eleventh Prince, all the Prince issued statements withdrawing from the Succession War.

This Succession War has effectively ended.

"Let's go, it's time to see Father again."

With that, the Ninth Prince led the group of people toward the King's bedroom.

Along the way, none of the guards offered any obstruction.

The chaos had spread throughout the first floor.

Everyone is now waiting for the final result.

When the Ninth Prince pushed open the door and entered the King's bedroom alone.

The King, who was sitting on the sofa, opened his eyes.

Nasby looked at his son.

"You haven't killed everyone yet; you can't be considered victorious."

He spoke quietly like this.

However, the Ninth Prince simply looked at him.

"I have already won in a practical sense, and I will not kill those defenseless brothers and sisters because of this so-called Succession Ceremony."

"The Succession Ceremony has already begun, and when it ends is not up to me."

Nasby, as King, simply spoke quietly.

"Then give me that pot, and let's end this Succession Ceremony here."

Upon hearing this, Nasby stared at him.

The two stared at each other, neither willing to back down.

After what seemed like an eternity, Nasby let out a silent sigh.

Is this your choice?

"Yes, Father."

"Then take it. The king will be chosen when this Succession Ceremony concludes."

Suddenly, the royal butler reappeared beside them, holding the pot with both hands and handing it to the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince looked at the pot.

To be honest, it's very ordinary; even on a second viewing, it doesn't seem to have anything special about it.

Holding the pot, the Ninth Prince left without looking back.

Until the door was closed.

The royal butler standing nearby then asked softly.

"Are we just going to let him do this?"

Nasby simply closed his eyes.

"Whether it's right or wrong, we can't tell right now. If this is his choice, then so be it, Gray."

The moment he, as King, initiated the Succession War, he was no longer King.

By all accounts, the Ninth Prince has indeed won the Succession War.

The butler stood to the side.

He knew all the Prince, including the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince did not receive a traditional royal education, but rather a modern one.

This kind of education will make him no longer accept the so-called royal succession. If nothing unexpected happens, when the Ninth Prince ascends the throne, he will carry out more in-depth reforms.

It's possible that the Kakin Empire will never have King again.

But if this is a king's choice, then so be it.

The moment the Succession War appeared and was established.

What matters is never the royal family, never the King, but the country itself.

The structure of this Succession War reveals that royal bloodlines are not actually that important.

The important thing is whether the person who is the king can lead the country to prosperity.

The moment the other party becomes king, he will bear the responsibility for the country, even if the future is dark.

Not every King of the Kakin Empire made the country a step further.

"That troublemaker will need the Empire, and since he has the ability to cause trouble, the Empire will need him too."

Nasby muttered to himself.

He didn't have complete control over the ship, so he didn't know who had disrupted the Succession Ceremony.

But at least it won't be the V5 he thought it was before.

It was obvious that the person who disrupted the Succession Ceremony was the Ninth Prince.

Whether the other party is a force of the Kakin Empire or not is no longer important.

The fact that they would help the Ninth Prince and assist him in winning the Succession War shows that they at least have designs on this country.

Having ideas and schemes against the Kakin Empire is not necessarily a bad thing.

Not to mention that this assistant was able to quietly help the Ninth Prince sweep away the entire Succession War from behind the scenes, which is enough to demonstrate their strength.

If it's an outsider, then it's an even more formidable dragon.

This is not a bad thing for the empire.

If the other party can truly disrupt the Succession Ceremony once it has already begun.

Therefore, the Ninth Prince's choice is perfectly acceptable.

All kings should view issues from the perspective of the empire.

The Ninth Prince, carrying the pot, led the group directly to the dining well.

Then they saw Kurapika and Pairo, who had been waiting inside the well for a long time.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. It seems I'll soon be addressing you as King."

--

The Ninth Prince nodded, not objecting to these words, because they were indeed true.

He walked over and placed the pot he was carrying on the table.

"This is the national treasure of the Kakin Empire. Can we now stop this Succession Ceremony?"

Kurapika nodded slightly.

"Of course, no problem, but you'll have to wait a moment."

That's why we need to wait.

Because Kevin is currently being blocked.

"Do you have that much teleportation ability?"

Kevin observed his surroundings and asked with some curiosity.

Surrounded by several people, a woman with two scars on her face stood here.

Even with these two scars, one could still see the woman's beauty; standing there, she resembled a poisonous Rose that might wither at any moment.

In Kevin's view, the group of people standing in front of him were so densely packed that the black smoke rising from their heads was almost as thick as black smoke.

Seriously, everyone in this group is a villain.

"After all, I do have some experience in discerning people."

In response to Kevin's question, Molena smiled and said...

"You must have investigated me, right? Showing up in front of me is like walking into a trap, or do you have a lot of confidence in yourselves?"

Kevin looked at the group of people in front of him and asked somewhat uneasily.

He has demonstrated his power on this ship more than once.

It is believed that most Nen user have experienced this.

By observing who boards the ship, one can generally guess who they are.

"You killed Tserriednich, by what right?"

"Molena asked softly."

Is he your brother or your lover?

"He's my enemy, I should be the one to kill him. I've been waiting for this moment all along. What right do you have?"

Molena's face contorted instantly, and Wu became somewhat hysterical.

The other side were all Nen user.

But such arrogance suggests that there must be a mechanism involved.

A swift and decisive victory is needed.

"You talk too much nonsense."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin launched a sudden attack.

He threw a punch straight forward.

"This area is off-limits----"

A bespectacled man was about to say something, but before he could finish speaking, he was struck directly.

Blood splattered.

The surrounding area was completely stained red.

The splattered blood and flesh were evenly distributed by Kevin's Nen Aura barrier.

"Is this person's Nen ability the source of your sense of security?"

A soft voice came from behind them.

Molena stood there, completely frozen in place.

She had never lost her composure like this before.

What's wrong with this person? Is that Nen ability? Why doesn't it match the information?

Is this even human?

With a click.

A hole was cleaved in the wall somewhere, the thick metal wall was torn apart by bare hands.

Kevin came out from inside.

His pride was spotless.

They went up to the upper level, took out their passes, and entered the dining well.

"Uncle, you've arrived. Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

Kurapika quickly came forward and asked.

After all, they had just been in contact, and Kevin was on his way, when suddenly he said he had some things to take care of.

Kevin nodded.

"We encountered a few mentally unstable individuals, but the problem is now resolved."

Hearing Kevin's nonchalant words, Kurapika didn't think too much about it.

I introduced Kevin to the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince looked at the man in front of him.

Through his proud Nen Beast, the Ninth Prince had already witnessed Nen ability and even activated his own Nen.

The man in front of them looked ordinary and unremarkable.

Kevin simply smiled and nodded at him, then his gaze fell on the pot on the table.

Step forward.

"This is the national treasure of the Kakin Empire?"

Although it was a question, no one was allowed to answer. Instead, the speaker continued, "So, can you accept this being destroyed?"

He looked at the Ninth Prince and asked.

The Ninth Prince nodded without hesitation.

"Of course, but if possible, please let me see it destroyed right before my eyes."

"Of course, no problem."

As Kevin spoke, he covered the jar with his hands, and black Resentment flowed from his hands into the jar, enveloping it.

It was slightly different from what he had expected.

This national treasure is not composed of Resentment and is fundamentally different from Meditation Ritual Buddha.

It's more like the type of normal Nen tool I learned about from Gin before, except that it's so powerful, it obviously came at a great cost.

As Resentment surges in, it is the Snake Venom of Resentment.

In an instant, the gas on the entire canister was contaminated, turning into a Resentment black.

In an instant, Resentment spread outwards.

Everyone felt a chilling, biting wind pass through them, and for a moment they stood frozen in place as if they had been frozen solid.

"Snap!"

However, at that moment, the teapot broke.

The pitch-black, lumpy object floated out almost visible to the naked eye and was caught in Kevin's palm.

"So, that concludes the discussion."

In the eyes of others.

The one-eyed Nen Beast on the Ninth Prince vanished with the wind.
